The United Nations’ official magazine, the UN Chronicle published a piece titled, “The Benefits of World Hunger.” While the post was written 14 years ago, it recently gained a lot of attention of social media.
Because of the heavy backlash the report received on social media, the United Nations deleted the article, claiming that it was a vain attempt at satire.
The article written by George Kent, professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Hawaii, can be read below:
We sometimes talk about hunger in the world as if it were a scourge that all of us want to see abolished, viewing it as comparable with the plague or aids. But that naïve view prevents us from coming to grips with what causes and sustains hunger. Hunger has great positive value to many people. Indeed, it is fundamental to the working of the world’s economy. Hungry people are the most productive people, especially where there is a need for manual labour.
We in developed countries sometimes see poor people by the roadside holding up signs saying “Will Work for Food”. Actually, most people work for food. It is mainly because people need food to survive that they work so hard either in producing food for themselves in subsistence-level production, or by selling their services to others in exchange for money. How many of us would sell our services if it were not for the threat of hunger?
More importantly, how many of us would sell our services so cheaply if it were not for the threat of hunger? When we sell our services cheaply, we enrich others, those who own the factories, the machines and the lands, and ultimately own the people who work for them. For those who depend on the availability of cheap labour, hunger is the foundation of their wealth.
The conventional thinking is that hunger is caused by low-paying jobs. For example, an article reports on “Brazil’s ethanol slaves: 200,000 migrant sugar cutters who prop up renewable energy boom”. While it is true that hunger is caused by low-paying jobs, we need to understand that hunger at the same time causes low-paying jobs to be created. Who would have established massive biofuel production operations in Brazil if they did not know there were thousands of hungry people desperate enough to take the awful jobs they would offer? Who would build any sort of factory if they did not know that many people would be available to take the jobs at low-pay rates?
Much of the hunger literature talks about how it is important to assure that people are well fed so that they can be more productive. That is nonsense. No one works harder than hungry people. Yes, people who are well nourished have greater capacity for productive physical activity, but well-nourished people are far less willing to do that work.
The non-governmental organization Free the Slaves defines slaves as people who are not allowed to walk away from their jobs. It estimates that there are about 27 million slaves in the world, including those who are literally locked into workrooms and held as bonded labourers in South Asia. However, they do not include people who might be described as slaves to hunger, that is, those who are free to walk away from their jobs but have nothing better to go to. Maybe most people who work are slaves to hunger?
For those of us at the high end of the social ladder, ending hunger globally would be a disaster. If there were no hunger in the world, who would plow the fields? Who would harvest our vegetables? Who would work in the rendering plants? Who would clean our toilets? We would have to produce our own food and clean our own toilets. No wonder people at the high end are not rushing to solve the hunger problem. For many of us, hunger is not a problem, but an asset.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
How on God’s green earth was that meant to be interpreted as “satire?” Backtrack 14 years ago: satirical and admitted “fake news” was not a ‘thing’ yet: when someone posted something it was taken much more literally. And in this day and age of never-ending gaslighting
[18] As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death, [19] So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?Proverbs 26:18-19
When the UN says “hunger is not a problem, but an asset,” be not deceived: they mean that with every fiber of their being. That’s why all these world governments, secret societies, and especially the Vatican, are working around the clock to bring the world to its knees, and ultimately cut it down to size.

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

“The benefits of world hunger,” it will benefit the UN and the Vatican is what they mean.
Agreed. UN is the image of the beast : the Pope (Cain) and the second beast (The black Pope and the Jesuits who are working to bring the world to worship the Pope Antichrist beast).
Ladies and gentlemen and boys and girls of all ages, start stocking up, don’t panic buy like with what happened during the “toilet paper crisis” (which was actually a demo troubleshoot to see if their scam pandemic would work – and it did) store up wisely. Food, water and filters, first aid, weapons, and King James Bibles.
